Tom Lee Warns Bitcoin Could Still Drop 50% Despite ETF Hype
BitMine chair Tom Lee has delivered a sobering reality check to Bitcoin investors, warning that the cryptocurrency remains vulnerable to 50% price collapses despite growing institutional adoption through spot Bitcoin ETFs. In a recent interview with crypto entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano, Lee challenged the prevailing market narrative that Bitcoin has matured beyond its volatile nature, pointing to stock market drawdowns as evidence that even established markets experience severe corrections.

Bitcoin is positioned for a dramatic fourth-quarter rally in 2025, with prices potentially surging to $200,000 as institutional and whale demand accelerates at unprecedented rates. According to onchain analytics firm CryptoQuant, spot demand has been rising sharply since midsummer, averaging more than 62,000 BTC in net inflows monthly—a level of buying pressure that has historically preceded major fourth-quarter surges. With Bitcoin trading above key technical levels and multiple major financial institutions echoing the bullish outlook, the stage appears set for one of the most significant bull runs in cryptocurrency history.

Corporate investment in cryptocurrency treasuries has collapsed by 76% from summer peaks, according to a Bloomberg report that reveals a dramatic reversal in what was once a booming trend. The plunge in Bitcoin purchases by publicly-traded digital-asset treasuries—from 64,000 BTC in July to just 15,500 in September—comes alongside regulatory investigations and catastrophic valuation declines for some treasury firms. This retreat of major institutional buyers has created a precarious market environment, even as crypto ETFs continue to attract substantial capital, highlighting a deepening divide in investor sentiment.

ProShares introduced two new leveraged ETFs—ProShares Ultra Solana ETF (SLON) and ProShares Ultra XRP ETF (UXRP)—offering 2x daily returns on Solana and XRP price movements. These funds track futures contracts rather than holding the underlying tokens, similar to ProShares’ existing Bitcoin and Ethereum offerings. CEO Michael Sapir highlighted the demand for leveraged exposure to high-throughput blockchains like Solana and XRP. The ETFs are designed for experienced traders, as daily leverage resets can magnify gains or losses quickly. ProShares now manages 12 crypto-linked ETFs and three mutual funds, totaling over $1.5 billion in assets. The firm reiterated that its products avoid direct crypto custody by using regulated futures contracts. Regulatory hurdles continue to limit competitors to futures-based structures.

A new Bitcoin futures ETF, BITX, has gained significant traction among institutional investors, quadrupling its Bitcoin exposure since January and becoming one of the largest Bitcoin futures ETFs in the U.S. Despite its potential for high returns, the leveraged nature of BITX poses increased risk and volatility, with its performance not always corresponding to 2X that of Bitcoin. This has led to substantial inflows, surpassing many new Bitcoin spot ETFs, but caution is advised due to the potential for long-term fluctuations and losses.
